All the moms who have gone through pregnancy and childbirth to become mothers (whether that road was smooth or bumpy or full of detours)
All the moms who have become mothers through the wonder of adoption, and all the birth moms who made such an unselfish sacrifice for the well-being of their babies
All the single dads who have had to play the role of dad AND mom
All the grandmas, aunts, cousins, and friends who have stepped in to become mom, regardless of circumstance
All the teachers and school personnel who sometimes have to play the role of mom, since our students can't learn if they don't feel safe and have their basic needs met
All the women who yearn to be a mom, but for whom it hasn't happened yet (don't give up the faith-if you have a mother's heart, you will somehow and someday become a mom, I truly believe that!)
All the moms who have lost one or more of their children...even if you have surviving children they can't fill that hole in your heart
All the moms that have had to give up one or more of their children...you may still carry them in your heart
All the moms of fur babies...sure, they're not human babies, but if they are part of your family they ARE your babies
And to all the sons and daughters who have had to say goodbye to their moms. Sure, it's the circle of life, but it's never easy...
I'm sure I'm forgetting a group, and not on purpose. Motherhood is a huge job, and sometimes it takes a village! So I hope everyone who in any way, shape or form fills the role of mom can be appreciated on this day. I am beyond thankful for my mom, who put up with me and loved me regardless of my (many) faults. And I am also so blessed by my three miracles (and my husband!) that not only made me a mom, but molded me into a much better person. Much love to all!!
